Today Julie visits the home of third US President Thomas Jefferson, Monticello with her parents, John and Katy Hamm. Mark was not able to be along with us today. Julie talks about Jefferson and a little about Monticello, introduces her parents and we walk through the kitchen gardens. (1:50) We continue on to Mulberry Row, where slaves lived and a number of the plantation's main functions occurred, like the joinery and blacksmith shops, and the smokehouse and dairy. We discover and solve the mystery of the wires going up the trees. We also visit the Levy grave site and talk about the Levy's role in preserving Monticello. (6:32) After Mulberry Row we head up to the house, and the rooms under it, including the cidery, beer cellar, and the wine cellar. (16:56) We play the Trouble in Mind, by the Virginia Blues duo Cephas and Williams. It came to us from the Podsafe Music Network. (21:25) We are ushered into the house, and take the tour. We include some excerpts from the tour guide, including some interesting information about the clock in the entry to the house. (24:30) We finish up talking about the tour of the house, then prepare to head back to our car.
